About this episode
We live in an age that worships at the altar of the autonomous individual. The modern man, particularly the modern Western man, believes he is a self-contained unit. His triumphs are his own, his failures are his own, and his destiny is a thing he forges for himself. He is the captain of his soul, the master of his fate, and he will answer to no one. This is the central lie of our rebellious age, and it is a lie that makes it impossible for most to understand the first thing about how God governs the world He made. He deals with mankind in covenantal structures, through representative heads. This is the grammar of Scripture, from the first Adam, in whom we all fell, to the last Adam, in whom all His people are made alive. If you do not grasp the principle of federal headship, the Bible will be a locked book to you.
